July 12 and 13, Escola Superior de Turismo e Tecnologia do Mar (Peniche)

The Portuguese National Innovation Agency (ANI) supports the Program for the Modernization and Promotion of Polytechnic Schools by organizing the Project Workshop titled “Exploring practice based research projects with students and other actors.”

Aimed at teachers and researchers from polytechnic institutes, the purpose of this initiative is to bring polytechnic schools together and help them design “practice based R&D” projects and consortia – a concept which had never been funded in Portugal by a specific funding line, and for which the application process has just been announced.

In addition to tutorials by international and Portuguese experts, the meeting also includes several venues to discuss project ideas and their formatting as “practice based R&D” projects.
